Safety, trust & environment

Im very respectful and love detailed instructions. I’ve owned feisty, picky pets, so I’m happy to do whatever your animals need! I know it can be stressful having someone else come into your home and care for your pets, so I’ll take every measure to make sure you and your animals are comfortable

Information Rafaela B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me need if there are any special needs your pet has. I’m happy to accommodate any preferences, too (I’ve cared for dogs who need their food microwaved or cats who need to be tricked into taking meds via churu)

A typical day

I love to play and cuddle with your pets. Let me know their bathroom and walk schedule. I’m happy to stand in the rain and wait for them to go or to double check litter boxes to monitor your pet’s health. Otherwise, we’ll check out the nearest dog park or play with sticks and string until they need a break. I love enrichment activities like licking pads or treat puzzles, too

Lifelong pet owner

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and small animals, and I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, including comforting a big dog scared of storms and giving medications to cranky senior animals. I have two cats and a 9-yr-old chinchilla with big personalities. I know pets are our family members, and I look forward to caring for yours!

My highly anxious and fearful dog has some pretty rough "quirks" - It's hard to find a sitter who fits well with her personality. Rafaela was flexible when needed, had a very calm energy, and showed up to both the meet & greet AND the housesitting job clearly having reviewed all of the info on my dog's profile (she immediately asked - totally unprompted - whether my dog had already taken her medication for the day. Details like this made me 100% confident that she would follow all guidance exactly as planned). I felt very confident leaving my dog with her and would happily rebook!

Rafaela was amazing. She sent daily pictures and was very responsible. I felt so safe leaving her to care for my dog, Louie!
